i did fill up for a long run which is when i usually get my best mpg and found i got 28 and a bit mpg which is what i get around town, did do a bit of low range off roading on that tank but only a couple of hours, did not do what it says but there still the cheapest around so i will still be using it.

Always use shell or total but never bother checking mpg but the total seems to last longer..

I don't really see differences in quality fuels, the cheap fuels are giving less mpg specially with my D3G4 V8.
I think that in Germany the fuel quality is also not that good as my mpg goes really down as soon as I cross the border between The Netherlands and Germany.  Roel

There is a difference in fuels - certainly supermarket to main brands (shell/bp) but where as 300 is a bad tank - with the so called fuel saver this seems to be around the standard in the 90 not the exception.
Im sad so when tracking money I can easily track MPG, mileage etc and do - a quick history check show 28-29 is the average, the last few with fuel saver have been 25 this is just the 90 similar story with the other 3  Mike |

I've used Shell since Big Black was new (except once when I filled up with Asda - bleurgh - and when I was abroad) and averaged around 30 to the gallon. There has been a slight drop since the Fuel Save fuel was introduced though, but only by about 1mpg.
Will keep checking though... I'm quite sad when it comes to my MPG  |

 Karlos, me old mucker, with the winch bumper and winch you're about to fit plus your tent your fuel economy is about to fall out of that lardy ar5e of yours anyway! Managed to get your driver's door to shut yet porky!
Only joking Karlos, it was a bit rich coming from someone who is too fat for River Island! Somebody else pointed out not was I only too fat but too old too! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Well now that Shell is getting rid of the Brents (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie & Delta) they've got to find some way to cover the decommissioining costs!! |

Just because you drive a land rover shouldnt mean you accept poor fuel economy - certainly in the current times. Second...MPG is a good indicator of issues with the car third...i like to get what i pay for, if i pay for 1l better - i dont expect worse! Mike |
